FAQs

It is difficult to determine in advance the amount of time an organizing project may take since there are variables unique to each situation, such as the amount of items to be sorted and organized as well as the client’s input and decision making ability can either expedite or delay a project.

Through the years I have found that not allowing enough time is not productive as it only allows time to get started and quickly stop. Likewise after a 4 hour time session, much is accomplished and often a good breaking point after a client has been making decisions on items.

Yes, if there are items to be sorted or purged. They are your items and I will assist you in the decision making process and sorting to facilitate the job but I cannot determine whose items in a family belong to whom and what is to be purged, etc.

However there are times when the sorting and purging has been done and what is left is to put the items away in an organized manner. It is possible for a client to opt out of that process if they prefer and leave the final organizing to me.

First we will need to determine what your goals are and where to begin. I will assist you through the decision making of purging items and facilitate the sorting process.

After the items are sorted this is when a determination is usually made if supplies are needed to house the newly sorted items. Once the necessary organizing supplies are ready for utilization the items that have been sorted will be organized into their new homes.

Obviously it’s unlikely that we will finish in a perfect 4 hour session on the last day. There are times when we are close to finishing and makes sense to put another hour or so in to fully complete a project.

Any project that has had more than 1 session ends before 4 hours, the project is done at the time and pro-rated for the hourly amount.
